Holiday Gift Guide For Her: What I’d Love To Give (Or Receive 😉)

November 26, 2019 • Leave a Comment

I’m always asking for gift ideas so when anyone tells me about something they love or I see (or buy) something I think others may like I make a list so when holiday time comes along I have some ideas. Here are some of the items I love.

1.Pajama Set: I’ve been on a pajama kick lately (instead of my old sweats and a t-shirt!) and I was in Target with my mom when I found these pjs. They are so soft and comfy. I usually go up a size in pajamas-for some reason I didn’t with these, but they fit true to size. I get my kids pjs every year for Christmas Eve so kids now you know which ones you’re getting!!

2.Small Tote: How cute is this PU leather bag?! It comes in a variety of colors, looks beautiful, and is a great price.

3.Faux-Fur Cape Coat: I’ve been eyeing a cape since I saw a woman in NYC wearing one over a beautiful dress with gorgeous knee high boots. I loved her look and wanted to recreate it and this cape might just do the trick. This cape has a front closure and it even has pockets!! (Don’t know why but I love pockets!!) ☺️

4.Book Cheese Boards: This is a perfect gift for someone who likes to read or cook or both! These maple cutting boards are so useful and look like a stack of books when on display.

5.Rose Body Lotion: I bought this lotion while in Soho, NYC because I love anything rose scented. This lotion has a very mild rose scent and is infused with pear, magnolia, and sandalwood and is just delicious. It’s very lightweight but really hydrating-I use it a lot especially right after I wash my hands. I bought the hand wash as well and the two would make a really nice holiday or hostess gift. 

6.Shearling Gloves: These leather gloves are lined with genuine shearling and are so cute. They are available in a few colors, pink, gray, and tan AND they’re touchscreen compatible-yay you don’t have to take your gloves off to use your phone!!

7.Cashmere Travel Wrap: A cozy wrap, to me, is always a travel essential. Use it as a blanket on a plane, a scarf if it gets cold once you arrive at your destination, or a wrap if the weather is mild, and this one is just perfect. It is part of Bloomingdale’s exclusive line and is available in 15 colors! It’s dimensions are 34.5″W x 81.5”L. 

8.Leopard Slippers: I love UGG slippers and these are definitely a statement piece! Made of cow hair on the leopard upper with sheepskin and a rubber sole, these slippers are cozy and stylin’!

9.Votive Candle Trio: This candle set will make the perfect holiday or hostess gift (or a gift to yourself!). Each candle is 2.4 ounces and will burn for approximately 20 hours. This set includes three candles, one in each of the following scents: spiced orange and clove; birchwood pine; and holiday which is a blend of pomegranate, mandarin orange, cloves, cinnamon, and a hint of amber and vanilla. Yum!!

10. Winter Boots: How cute are these pink UGG boots? They also come in a really pretty gray. The cuff is genuine shearling, while the lining is faux fur and UGGpure wool (a textile made entirely from wool to feel and wear like genuine shearling). This boot is waterproof and had a grippy sole so if you’re like me (klutzy!) these will help!

I really need to hit the road and get my holiday shopping done, but I’m at a loss for what to buy everyone. I’m usually pretty good at picking out gifts and don’t know why I’m struggling this year. I’ll figure it out I’m sure! What about you? How’s your shopping going? Hope you’re having fun xo
